We have an Oculus Rift that we would like to use for RobotStudio demonstrations. The stereo vision works fine to view the station but I can’t move around using the attached Xbox controller, as seen in a Youtube video. Currently any button press on the controller re-centres the view in the headset. Any ideas?

Still no luck with this. Could it be that an add-in was used to control the camera “look-from” property from the xbox controller?

I’d have to look at the code to remember exactly how it’s supposed to work, but does it make any difference if you use it in normal view (no VR)? In a station viewer?

Cheers for the input. It seems to be OK now actually. A few updates and reboots seems to have solved it. I can move around using the left analogue stick, and move up and down vertically using LT and RT. Slightly different controls in normal view. Pretty good actually!
